The Washington Commanders defeated the Atlanta Falcons 30-24 in overtime on ‘Sunday Night Football’ to seal a playoff berth for the first time since 2020.
There was one thing that the NBC broadcasters, as well as the graphic team, refused to do all night.
NBC’s broadcast showed a graphic comparing rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels’ record-breaking rushing season to former quarterback Robert Griffin III’s historic season in 2012.
However, they purposely did it without the old logo.
The rookie Commanders quarterback took down Robert Griffin III’s previous record for most rushing yards in a season by a rookie quarterback.
Neither Mike Tirico nor Cris Collinsworth would utter the word ‘Redskins,’ nor would the graphics team put it on the screen for millions to see.
Not only that, NBC edited out the “Redskins” from Robert Griffin III’s rookie jersey.

. @NBC erasing the Redskins logo is a perfect example of cultural erasure.

Woke ideology doesn’t stop at renaming mascots—it’s about rewriting history, erasing heritage, and imposing ideological control.
This is war on tradition.
TV traffic edited out the “Redskins” on the RG3 jersey 😂😂

Thousands of Fans Want the Washington Commanders To Change Back To The Redskins
The Redskins became the Washington Football Team in 2020, then the Commanders in 2022.
The name of the football team playing in Washington, D.C. has been a topic of discussion for quite some time.
A group called the Native American Guardian’s Association has been demanding that Washington change their name back to the Redskins. They even organized support for the name reversal with a petition that has gained thousands of signatures.
